The socrotary of the treasury has
made arrangements for the im
mediate issue of silver coin, to N
redeem the fractional currency now
in circulation. The sub-treasurers n(
at different points, ailmng them t
Charleston, are authorized to re
d(om, in silver, fractional curreny(1
presented to them in sums of five }
dollars aml multiples, not exceeding
,one hundred dollars. It is expected t
that within a very few months there I
will be no "shin plasters" whatever '
in circulation. n1

that Leslie defrauded the state of a
very large amount of monoy, and
was bosides guilty of many acts of
gr(os s oflicial mnisconduct. 'No biooks
Containing Satisfactory en1trios could

amounts stited in these deeds with
those charged to the Commissioniers
on the books of the state troasutror,
there was found to exist a diserepan

this deficioney, $68,000 arose during
the administration of Leslie, and for
that sum11 ho is, or should bo, ro
spolsible to the state. The report
shows likewise many transactions
bearing the indelible impress of
deliberate fraud. The most damag

to be paid for land sold to the com1

Leslie the sum of 83.Ot0. Altogeth

it is true that the conservatives
could, without risk of indignity, vote
ie thehide 86ns'of right dictated, and
thin ptar 4 protest, if accoiplish
ing l dtins more, against the doings
of the corruptionists. This they
haVo done in alnost every instance.
A glanco over the history of (Gov
ernor Chamberlain's administration
will show conclusively that in every
issue ho has made with the snore
dangerous element in his party, he
has had the steady and unanimous
co -operation of the conservativos in
the logielatero. Without the sup
port thus given him, ho would in
more than one instance have been
compolled to succumb to the powor
of the thie ves. That the conserva
tivo momL are wore 0i100 or twice
absent from their seats uipon in
portant occasions--notably when
the vote was taken upon Senator
Cochran's bill to divide the state
into congressional districts- we do
not deny, and in comm non with the
entire consorvitivo people, we deep
ly regret such absence upon ocCa
s10i1n so fall of importance to the
conservatives of South Carolina.
Yet, admitting that the conservative
members of the logislature have
fallen short of perfection in some
instances, we cannot at all agree
with the .Mediunm when it asserts
that ' they miado fair promises, and
were honored with the contidence of
the people, vhich they have most
grossly and repeatedly violated," and
that "the eatire record is tilled
with their shameful and lamnentable
neglect of duty." However much
we may roret the abseneo of some
of the conservatives from their posts
at timos of importance, we are by
no meanus ready to give assent. to
the sentiments tittered by our Abbe
vile contemporary. Stronger ian
aunge could scarcely be used in ref
eronce to thu defection of Judlge
Carpenter, in whoin the conserva
tives of the state once reposed a
trust quito equal in gravity and in
honor to that held by the conserva
tives in the legislature. And we are
sorry to see it sweepingly applied to
nH like Chancellor Johnson, Gen
oral Wallace, Mr. Crittenlen, Mr.
Barnwoll, Mr. Sloan, and1 others of
a1,hlalmer-it, though perhaps of loss
m11e1 will bear investigation anmd wvill
b~ear criticism. As far as we aire
informed, they did nolt seek the po0
sition to which they were chosen by
their respetive contituencies. They
muust have realizedI, long buefore theim
names were irst called upon01 the
logislative rolls, tha~t they were to
enter upon a task as dillienit as it
now seems, inl 5some quarters at leaist.
to have beenl thanikless. They must
have reilize:l the sacrifices that thov
would be0 called utponi to muake ot
personal conlvenienuce, personal inl
tLorest and pers>mal feeling ; andI
they muust have felt that every act of
theirs which unght, by any inigenuityv
of airgulmment b ~econsidered eqjui vocal
would a t once ho0 attribu'tedi to a
failur(, to realize thme fuillnecss of their
dluty anmd thme fullness of their re
sp)onsibility. WVithi all these thing's
to discouraoe tiud deter, t hey necept
oud the p)ositionI put upon01 thIemu by
thme plell, and( pr1oceehded to a poer
formuance, to thme biest of their ability
under their peculiarly trying circnum
stances, of tihe arduious and unpleas
mant duties assigned to them. It must
indeed impress them with a full
senlse of the oft-asserted ingratitutde
of the poputlace, to bo the sub~ject of
suich severe commenits nts those ini
wvhic~h the Mediu~nt has indulged.
We hope to see 1no more of such
criticism. It Can accoumplish no
good purpose, and is almost an1 adi
mlission thmat the conservatives of
South Carolina have not in their
ranks material from which may be
miade faithful and ellicient pubtllic
ollicors.
